  Getrunken über mehrere Abende. Weiterhin reif und prächtig im Glas, erscheint im Vergleich zum letzten Mal vor einem Jahr etwas transparenter.

  Wie immer eine feine Sache... 2011 hat jetzt vielleicht nicht die feinste Struktur, überzeugt aber mit Volumen, Kraft und Trinkspaß.

  A very different kind of CdP. Evidence of youth with rose like red. Body is thin to medium. After a few hours of bottle breathing, a very nice perfume of flowerly emerges. The taste is gentle with little bit of spice and sweetness at the end. Finishing is ok. A very feminine CdP which I never experienced before. I think it needs 2+ years to peak, however I think this wine is not designed to cellar like Beaucastel's. Probably 2 to 3 more points in 2 years time.

  Was able to get a sneak peak at this fresh vintage while visiting Bordeaux. All I can say is wow! Beautiful head start for this CnP. On the eyes its all purple- obviously. Still the consistency of the wine throughout the glass was impressive and I anticipate this to be wonderful syrupy vintage. The nose was the highlight of this wine thus far. Roasted coconut, sweet berries, dark tobacco, and black pepper all came together like a symphony. On the palate the wine with sweet and spicy in a way that only Chateuneuf's can accomplish. The finish was relatively long for this young of a vintage and well balanced. I came back wanting more. Hold this for at least 3-4 years. If you cant, enjoy!
